6 months of PFA

As many of you know, babies grow fast. You blink your eyes and POOF they're all grown up. Our little one is no exception. He has gone from being a small and vulnerable newborn to a roly poly 6 month old. Before we know it he'll be graduating from High School! Okay, maybe not that fast, but this growing up thing seems to happen a lot faster to our own kids than it did for us when we were kids. Years speed by like months speed by like days, like hours, like minutes... Way too quickly!

Here are a few of our favorite moments that we've captured since the day out lives changed forever!

Just a couple of days old! Cutie Pie!

Curious eyes! Always alert!

He wasn't too happy with Mommy this day.

Happy little 2 month old! Loves to smile!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

This boy can sure make some funny faces!

Dancing in the outfit from Auntie Liz!

Smug little 4 month old!

He loves his exersaucer! LOVES IT!

Our little guy discovered solids and beefed up!

Can someone help me find the Sprout channel?

And here's the update from today! Mr. 6 months old!! 

Loving his toes!

Stay tuned for the next 6 months! Our little boy continues to surprise us!

And then there were THREE

So there we were, two happy people, just back from our honeymoon, settling down into our new married life. When it hit us. BAM! Guess what! We were expecting!! 2 weeks post honeymoon my doctor confirmed: I was pregnant! Every emotion flowed through our minds. Nervous, excited, happy, thrilled, so-in-love! 

Here's a picture of our little nugget! 12-weeks or so?

We had so much fun planning our new roles as parents. From decorating a nursery: 

To finding out that we were expecting a mini-Mike!!

Pregnancy was relatively easy for me. Minus the back aches and headaches, I had a pretty unremarkable 9 month process.

We were so excited and ready to welcome our little man into our lives! 

AND THEN IT HAPPENED! 

The morning of January 10th, 2014 (two weeks before my due date) I woke up to a broken water! So we headed to St. Vincent's Southside Hospital. Here's our last photo as a family of two!

At 11:20pm, our amazing first son, Parker Farris Ames came into this world weighing 7lbs 6oz, 20.75 inches long! 

More photos of our sweet boy to come in future posts!

Welcome back to blogging!

Hello world!

A lot has changed since my last post 2 years ago! Mike and I got married on May 4th, 2013 surrounded by friends and family and the monsoon that dumped inches of rain across the sunshine state! As you can see in this picture, it was quite blustery out!

However, we managed to get a couple of great shots in! 

Here we are with my fabulous in-laws! 

And here's me with my stud-muffin of a groom! Love that man!

We spent the week following the wedding in BEAUTIFUL Sanibel Island. Had the absolute best time relaxing in the sun! 

Check out the white sands and crystal blue waters! Heavenly!

Me enjoying cocktails by the sea!

We loved this cute little sign! Thanks to my grandparents who picked up the tab for it! It now hangs in our entry way as a reminder of our fabulous time!

Our wedding was so fantastic. We're so amazingly blessed to be able to share our lives together! I love this man more than anything and couldn't imagine growing old with anyone other than him!

More updates to come soon!

Cheers!

Annie
